Well, FISC judges typically operate individually and deal in non-public hearings without giving opposing views a chance to be heard, with no oversight or anything.
Judges to the FISC are appointed by the Chief Justice without any further oversight and the Chief Justice is politically appointed as well. (A democratic process for nominating judges isn't easy,. but vesting the power into a single hand is questionable)
Also the low number of modified or rejected warrants is suspicious (the positive interpretation might be that warrants are well prepared and thus qualify)
For me as an foreigner to both cases, both approaches are problematic and I have no democratic influence over either process. And yeah, I trust US more to be aligned with my interests, but neither is a happy thing for me.
